Whether you’re renovating or moving, roll-off dumpsters can provide a convenient waste management solution. If you’ve never rented one, you might be unsure how the process works. Here are a few tips to follow to make the task easier for you and the junk hauling company.

What’s the Proper Etiquette for Rental Dumpsters?

1. Rent Ahead of Time 

Renting ahead of time can benefit you and the junk removal company. Try to make arrangements at least a week beforehand to ensure you can get the size you need. Not waiting until the last minute will increase your options and allow for a smooth fulfillment process for the company. 

2. Don’t Put All Items In

Take paints and lacquers, tires, oils, fuels, and batteries to a hazardous waste collection center instead. Ask the rental company if you’re unsure about a specific item.

3. Fill Properly

Every bin has a maximum capacity. Exceeding the weight limit may weaken the dumpster and make it difficult for the removal company to pick it up without scratching your driveway. An overfilled dumpster can also pose a safety risk during transport since materials can come loose get in the way of other motorists. 

When filling your dumpster, also be mindful of weight distribution. Fill the bin evenly by laying trash at the back first and then working forward. Once the bin is full, close and lock the doors to prevent others from dumping refuse into the container and to keep pests out.
